Akali change meant to discourage 1 damage item => full tank akali, which is IMO f*** annoying to play against. Not sure how it's gonna play out though.

Corki... Well, a buff is a buff, but I haven't seen him in years.

Lux change will probably go unnoticed in actual games but I think it's more of a consistency change meant to bring her down in line with other ranged champions. Having top notch range and being tied for fastest move speed AP mid?

Morgana, Nami and Nunu's buffs help a little, but mana costs weren't the huge problem for them at all; especially Nunu; though he got a lower CD on his ult.

Nautilus buff is pretty decent, but it pretty much just amounts to a safer clear, giving him slightly better protection from early invades.

Ancient Golem change is weird but CDR is pretty lacking on jungler items; Iron Solari is pretty much the only choice right now and you have thousands of good armour items to get so I think this is overall a slight buff to itemization. The Ancient Golem upgrade is incredibly cost effective.

That said I liked the old build where you could get Tabi + Golem for massive armour against AD-heavy teams that you still needed tenacity against.

Lizard Elder price drop is probably meant to discourage the madreds/sightstone into locket/aegis tank build that is pretty retarded IMO.

Bold number is where you break even. Any less AD and you will be doing more damage currently. Any more AD and you will be doing more damage with the change.

The current value benefits from being magic damage, which makes it harder to itemize against an Udyr in the early game as he will be doing a decent mix of damage. The change to physical damage allows Udyr to make use of items like Black Cleaver and Last Whisper because it will increase his damage output.

Hell, just get Newdyr a Tiamat. 50 AD keeps him ahead of Oldyr until level 13, and with rounding he should be tied at level 18 with a Hydra.

Also if you are just looking to adjust your current build to deal the same amount of damage,

Strange power curve, no? The amount of AD you need early reduces as you rank up the spell, but once the spell is at max rank the amount of AD you need increases because you are still gaining AD per level which isn't a part of bonus AD for Newdyr.

Should I be happy? I mean the buff itself is great, basically means I won't have to wait around a few seconds at my wolf/wraith camp waiting for W to come up and it also means in early levels I'm more safe since I can pop my shield potentially a second time in a long fight.

At the same time, Nautilus was perfectly fine, he clear is super strong if he gets a decent leash and this really wasn't a needed buff it's just a luxury buff that may get people looking at Nautilus again which is frustrating.

If my favorite champion gets nerffed into the ground again/ always banned in ranked again I'm gonna be one sad puppy. </3
